You can still look forward to, long for, and look forward to living in a house like that if you work harder in San Francisco. As for ranch mansions, most people can only look up to them...
"How many servants do you need to hire for such a big house?" the third aunt said with her eyes wide open in disbelief.
The third aunt looks at Chen Mo differently now. The house in San Francisco's North Bay is worth more than four million, so this house... is several times bigger, and the decoration is even more luxurious. Especially this living room, it feels like it can fit a
There is a swimming pool. Houses like this are rarely seen even on TV.
"I like to be quiet. I live alone." Chen Mo smiled, touched Aphra in Chen Xiao's arms, turned around and went out to carry things in the truck.
First, I moved a few boxes of fine mineral water. It is said to be water hundreds of meters deep under Mount Fuji. The bottle looks good. Chen Xiao often drinks this mineral water. I went to the supermarket in the morning and saw it, so I bought a few boxes...
This house has four bedrooms on the second floor and two on the first floor. After arranging everyone's bedrooms, Chen Mo also tidied up the room and took everyone out for a walk.
The pasture in the valley is lush, and a small part of it has been harvested.
Leaving the Terai Valley and coming to the Moro Valley, we first saw a factory that was still under construction. This is also a very important place in the pasture. All the dry feed for the pasture comes out from here. Part of it has been built. Chen Mo took everyone there
Got in...
"The factory is being built very quickly, and the dryers have been installed." Chen Chen looked at the three rows of long pipes and said.
Xiong Jieming looked around and saw that a dryer was working. Employees in white work clothes were adjusting the equipment under the guidance of the salesperson.
"This is... an electric dryer?" Xiong Jieming looked around and didn't see the boiler, and asked in surprise.
"Electricity is more hygienic and environmentally friendly."
"It consumes a lot of energy." Xiong Jieming commented with his limited knowledge.
Chen Chen smiled and shook his head: "The ranch has its own power plant. It can't use up the electricity it generates, and it can't be connected to the outside..."
The original Snow Mountain Ranch also had a ranch dryer that burned coal. The coal-fired dryer does not pollute, but it mainly cannot control the temperature very accurately. This electric dryer is relatively expensive, but the ranch has
With your own power station, you don’t have to pay for electricity. After a few years, the cost will basically be the same.
Xiong Jieming opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally swallowed it.
"Boss, Mr Chen." Kang Si came over with some dried grass samples in his hand.
These dried pastures are still green, but have lost moisture. Compared with naturally air-dried pastures, dryer-dried pastures can retain more nutrients and digestible crude protein.
"Are these dried grasses?" Chen Chen took the grass and pinched it. It was crispy.
"Yes." Kang Si said, turning around and bowing slightly to Chen Mo: "We are debugging the power of the machine to retain more nutrients and digestible crude protein of the forage. We have obtained 12 samples and strive to
Confirm the plan today."
"Where's Brett?" Chen Mo said.
"Bright should vaccinate Dorper sheep in breeding area 19." Kang Si was very respectful to Chen Mo, which was a different attitude from Chen Chen.
Vaccination is not artificial, it is embryo transfer breeding... This is a very mature technology, the pregnancy rate can reach more than 80%, and the lambing rate can basically reach 75%.
Bright has introduced 2,000 registered purebred Dorper sheep embryos. If all goes well, about 1,500 lambs will be produced in five months...
After looking at the factory, Chen Mo didn't want to go to the breeding area anymore.
Although Chen Mo runs a ranch, he rarely enters the breeding area. Firstly, he can't stand the smell, and secondly, he can't stand the way the cows and sheep look at him. Humans are emotional animals after all...
"Uncle, aunt, you are going to live in the ranch for a while now. Let Chen Chen take you to familiarize yourself with the environment here." Chen Mo said and pointed to his pickup truck, let his uncle and aunt sit in his car, and pulled Chen Chen with him.
Come here and sit in the passenger seat...
After seeing this, Father Chen also crowded into the car, wanting to hear what they had to say.
"Okay, let's live here for a while." Third uncle chuckled.
"Chen Mo, arrange easy and simple tasks for your third uncle and the others."
"No, do whatever you have to do, we want to make money here..." The third uncle showed a bitter smile.
Chen Mo saw it in the rearview mirror...
As the saying goes, "if relatives don't share money, they won't communicate with each other." It means that if there is financial communication between relatives, the two families will not be far from becoming enemies.
Although this sentence is somewhat exaggerated, it does take more care when working under relatives.
But as a boss, when you work under your own hands, you have to worry about a lot of things.
Many things cannot be solved by relatives, especially when it comes to money. If the problem is not handled well, it will hurt both money and feelings.
However, everything is not absolute, and there are still many examples of getting along well with relatives at work.
Chen Mo will not arrange jobs for his third uncle and the others for the time being because he wants them to have an adaptation period and understand the basic situation in the United States...
The United States is really not filled with gold.
Chen Mo has scruples, and his third uncle also has scruples... If there was no other way, his third uncle and his aunt wouldn't think of coming over to work for Chen Mo...
Xiong Jieming is young and has no social experience.
He is the proud son of God in school, and he has developed a character with a higher ambition than the sky. He still doesn’t know what will happen in the future, but as a parent, he has to consider these things.
The cost of attending that university is too high. Even if Xiong Jieming graduates successfully in the future, unless he can stay in the United States and find a good job, or if he returns to China, he really doesn’t know how long it will take to pay off the money.
Actually, Chen Mo really doesn't care how long it takes Xiong Jieming to pay off, whether he can pay it back, or whether he will pay it back... He can sponsor a girl he has known for only a few months to go to college. Xiong Jieming is his cousin, and he will be able to do so in the future.
Just pay it back, if you don't have the ability to pay it back, forget it. Chen Mo doesn't care about the little money...
Chen Mo didn't know why, but he thought of Ai Li occasionally, but didn't want to contact her again. It was Ai Li who took the initiative to call Chen Mo. Since Chen Mo changed his phone number, the two have not been in contact...
The third aunt had an unnatural smile on her face and gently pulled her uncle.
The third uncle smiled bitterly.
Father Chen was a little embarrassed and put his hand on Third Uncle's shoulder. He didn't know what to say.
Ever since Chen Mo gave up studying and went out to work, shouldering the burden of the family that should not have been his, Chen's father has felt guilty towards Chen Mo...
The car was quiet for a while.
"Third uncle, let's go and see the tree vineyard." Chen Mo talked about the situation of the valley tree vineyard, and then said: "The ranch now has more than thirty employees, ordinary workers... The half-monthly salary implemented in our ranch is ordinary.
Workers’ semi-monthly salary is 2,650, which is a weekly salary of 1,325 US dollars. The normal working week is 6 days, and the normal working hours are 8 hours a day. Working on the ranch often requires overtime, and there is no overtime pay, so the salary is basically fixed.”
"Without overtime pay, what are these workers willing to do?" Father Chen asked.
Chen Chen turned his head and smiled: "The weekly salary is 1,325 US dollars, which is also a very high salary in California. Especially for ordinary workers on farms and ranches, they should belong to the first income ladder. Our contract states that each person per week
Normal working hours are 58 hours. Six days a week, 8 hours a day, and the remaining time is made up by working overtime... In fact, each person works less than 58 hours a week."
"That's it, it's okay."
"We implement work attendance checks and clock in and out. Those who work 116 hours a month will also receive a reward of 200 US dollars. I don't know if they can get this 200 dollars."
The weekly salary is 1,325 US dollars, converted into RMB... more than 8,000, almost 9,000 RMB.
The third uncle calculated in his mind and said: "On the Internet, it is said that American beef is very cheap. If you hire more than 30 workers, how many cows will you raise?"
"There are not many cattle, we mainly raise sheep." Chen Mo drove the car to the dirt road: "Meat in the United States is not cheap at all. There are many ways to buy it here, including cheap meat, green meat, and organic meat. These three popular
Well-known grades. Cheap meat, such as beef, different parts start from two dollars to less than ten dollars per pound. One pound is about ninety-two and a half dollars, less than a pound. Green meat, about sixty-seven dollars to twenty-thirty dollars.
...Organic beef usually starts at ten dollars, and expensive ones can sell for hundreds of dollars per pound..." or even thousands of dollars per pound.
Chen Mo didn't say anything later, for fear that his third uncle wouldn't believe it. It's not easy to raise beef worth hundreds of dollars per pound. In addition to being organic, the breed of cattle is also very important, and you also have to have your own sales channels...
The ranch currently has 35 workers, and recruitment work has not stopped. The plan is to recruit 6,070 workers.
Organic pastures require two to three times more labor than ordinary pastures, which is why organic meat is so expensive... Organic meat is expensive, but organic pastures require a lot of labor, technical support, and a lot of capital, which cannot be achieved by family pastures.
